Athena Wortman, 32, of Bayside, New York, has two young children and was worried about her cholesterol levels.

"When I first started the plan, I didn't realize how much food I was consuming and how it affected my mood and even how I socialized with friends," she explained.

Thanks to the Trim Before Turkey challenge, she's feeling back on track. Today, her cholesterol levels are in a normal range.

"I feel great. I can run around with my kids. I have energy," she said. "I'm doing amazing!"

Athena started out at 180 pounds and is now 155!

What's next?

How can they continue on this path through the rest of the holiday season? "Be selective about your splurges," advised Bauer. "Choose two to three special events, meals or parties that you look forward to and plan to indulge at those celebrations."
